wheatgrass supplierThe Liver, What an Amazing Organ

We don't realize how important our organs are, until they begin functioning improperly. After years of OTC's, then prescriptions for migraines; my palms became jaundiced, I felt constantly fatigued, developed eczema on the backs of my hands, and became anemic. I did not know how these medications had weakened my liver, until a trip to the doctor's office.

I decided to find out what the liver does; and it does so many things. It produces bile to help the body digest fat, makes a portion of our lymph cells which help us fight infections, helps the body filter out toxic materials, regulates sugar, processes over a liter of blood every minute, [which may contribute to it's heaviness], and the list goes on.

The next thing I did, was to find herbs that were beneficial to the liver. I had already been researching herbs for over a year. I'm not a certified herbalist, but I do study all I can on the subject. The one I came across most often recommended was, 'Milk Thistle'. This herb not only protects the liver, it stimulates the production of bile, and gives new life to liver cells. After 3 days of taking 'Milk Thistle', the jaundice left and never returned, my energy levels began coming back, and after a week, the eczema disappeared and never returned as well. After a new blood work up was done, there was no sign of anemia. This herb is also recommended for chemo patients to repair the damage done to the liver from treatments.

I don't expect the same results for everyone, as we are all different. This is my own personal account. I continue to take 'Milk Thistle' everyday as I still take meds for my migraines. As yet, I have not read of any problems concerning drug interactions, or any problems with long term use. I, myself have been taking this herb for over a year.

If you have been diagnosed with any kind of liver malfunction, discuss this herb with your doctor. He or she may agree to you using it as a supplement. You may be surprised at how well this herb can help.

When I was a kid, and in the throes of a pretty severe Star Wars addiction, she was my primary supplier. ... Do I really want to live forever eating only wheatgrass shakes and slices of white bread? No thanks....
